I put clear Danish oil on mine.  I tried taking a picture but it doesn't show the true color.  It made them slightly golden but not much.  They look nice this way in my opinion. I do not recommend any pigment.  It can turn out really bad.  I think...

Mr. badger_erich:  What a coincidence we both bought the Cornscala and are both retiring! I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  Give them a few hours of listening to break in.  Decided to clear coat mine.  Hand applying Danish Oil which can b...

I retired and bought a set of powered speakers for my small office.  I had this system in the basement but hadn't used it for years.  My son came home and bugged me to play it.  It wasn't even put together after I installed carpet.  Well..the Sunf...

I am considering a Node 2i and was told at the dealer to use a Cat 6 cable to connect the Node directly to the router. I have some questions about that. Not sure if I am in turn supposed to connect my laptop to the Bluesound with another Cat 6. I ...

Tubes:  I see some talk about Dared. I think that is about 1200.  Actually there are quite a few on Amazon but it's up to you if that's where you want to buy it.  I also looked at the Carver which starts at 75W and is $2750.  Carver has a 5 year w...

I ordered a set of Cornscala style "B" this week.  I am buying these without listening!!  I am not too worried about it.  This is only the 4th set of speakers I have ever owned and I think these may be the last.  Also,  I appreciate the thoughtful...

My deceased audio expert always put better parts in all my electronics and built me a crossover so I know first hand what good parts are.  It does baffle me why a manufacturer will save pennies on parts.  electrolytics vs film for example.  thanks

Thanks again.  I do have the subs and nice crossover so it sounds like Heresy would work.  I haven't got past the "shortness" yet.  Is the sound staging still realistic?  I did some reading about room treatments  and am still figuring it out.  The...

That's 2 votes for the Forte's.  I will be able to hear the CW4. Forte 3, RF7 and Heresy 4.  If I wait a few weeks.  If I want B stock i saw RF7 for $2600.  Thanks again

I should restate.  I think most of the edginess comes from recording variations and loud listening levels.  The Schiit has brought good imaging and improved the sound immensely.  I think the other brands would be good except my amp puts out 20W@8o...
